un bon film

Le Sexe Qui Parle is in that rare class of rather famous films which actually happen to be really good pieces of cinema. Penelope Lamour stars as a woman who discovers that her vagina has developed both a life and voice of its own. This soon becomes a problem for not only her, but her philanthropist husband as well...As the vagina becomes more and more vocal (no pun intended), it ends up causing more and more trouble.

Narratively speaking, Le Sexe Qui Parle is flawed with a fair amount of noticeable continuity errors, and the rushed ending does leave a bit to be desired in terms of resolution of the plot. On the other hand, technically speaking, Le Sexe...has the look of any classy French production, hardcore or otherwise, from the period. The acting (although it's hard to tell, seeing as I'm not a native French speaker, and well dubbing is dubbing, no matter the film) seems rather good all around. The cinematography and general look of the film are both first rate, and the original musical score is quite an incredible mix of easy listening pieces and classy jazz/disco sounding tunes. Overall, while not perfect, Le Sexe Qui Parle is a strong and well made enough film to most certainly stand the test of time and be just as entertaining now, in 2006 as it was in 1975.
